Controlled learning of pointwise nonlinearities in neural-network-like architectures

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon, Stanislas Ducotterd

We present a general variational framework for the training of freeform nonlinearities in layered computational architectures subject to some slope constraints. The regularization that we add to the traditional training loss penalizes the second-order tota ...

The Road Not Taken: How First-Generation Students Differ in Their Postgraduate Educational Paths

Olga Vladimirovna Kasatkina, Joelyn de Lima

First-generation students (FGS) are traditionally underrepresented in higher education, including engineering education. To ensure equity in access and success in engineering, and thereby ensure that we educate responsible engineers who come from a diversi ...

Multi-Agent Learning in Contextual Games under Unknown Constraints

Maryam Kamgarpour, Anna Maria Maddux

We consider the problem of learning to play a repeated contextual game with unknown reward and unknown constraints functions. Such games arise in applications where each agent’s action needs to belong to a feasible set, but the feasible set is a priori unk ...
